In the first two minutes, India talks about severing ties with "Hollywood" aspect of the industry and people's expectations of her and how she should be and carry herself
She then tied that in to her own expectations of Brandy as a STAN and how she had to listen to B7 without overthinking. It ended up lashing her back :kii:

It's 10 minutes long, so watch when u have time. Brandy put it on her IG story
Just merged
Not one lie told. I even had to approach B7 with no expectation stemming from Brandy's previous albums. Once I treated B7 as its own New body of work with absolutely no expectation of a full moon or afrodosiac, I loved and appreciated it so much more.
I'm in love with brandy the artist. Not brandy the full moon or brandy the afrodisiac. But the artist as a whole. So I appreciate each body of work differently for different reasons. If I want FM I go play full moon. But it sometimes seems like people want to hear FM in everything she does and that's crazy. We don't expect a painter to create the same art so why so we expect that from our singers?
Love India for always speaking her truth.
this was BEAUTIFUL
i love India and she nailed it here. GHa is NOT a consumer artist and people want knock! Umpf-a! And GHa isn't doing it!
I SCREAMED when she said she hated high heels
is she a bsource member
Everything she said about Brandy and B7 was spot on!!

!!! I sum it up to fanaticism and this idea of folk obsessing over or thinking an artists owes them "this" or "that" because that's what was delivered in the past, but if you truly appreciate an artist for their artistry and who they are, then you can appreciate all that they put their heart into. Like India said, you don't have to like everything to love it, but artists get sorely penalized if they don't deliver for consumer consumption.
And "High Heels" :plzstop: Yeah, chalk that one up to a dub.
I appreciate what Ghan did with HH but it wasn't the fckn time nor place.

Should've been kept for the deluxe mess
Or a Japanese bonus track tea
I LOVED her honesty and loved even more that Brandy reposted it.
This is def an album to sit with and appreciate the story told and Brandy's authenticity.
Hopefully Brandy will consider taking High Heels off the deluxe and giving us "Follow Your Heart" :dead:

It's not my FAVORITE but i love where it's placed on the album and the singing verses/Sy'Rais backgrounds and adlibs. Oof!

It's one of the "weaker" songs but that's not saying much at all! It's still my shit. But I can imagine the album without it and baby mama.
But anyway, i really loved this honest take and the fact that Brandy shared it.
i have a feeling she shared this clip because of EVERYTHING India talked about, even outside of B7. Artistic freedom and not wanting to be a part of the fake industry shit any longer.
They're no longer conforming or doing bullshit for social media that the girls think they should be doing. Forget about it and enjoy ur faves that are in their 20's and give af about fitting in to certain spaces. They deserve to do that and get all of the success they can get, but Brandy and India have experienced that a million times over.
It's not an awful song whatsoever but it just messes up the flow and doesn't fit the body overall. They sound beautiful on it and I actually like the singing and music on it.

I love this most about where Ghan is rn
Love this
I love how she admitted that the album didn't reach her at first until she really "listened".....

i gave the alber a chance cuz although i didnt GET it at first
i could tell GHan was laying something down that was very genuine and unique
i'd much prefer an album i have to take time to GET
than an album that i understand 100% first listen but just don't use cuz it sounds contrived or late.
Just the production,especially the instruments, alone makes High Heels a keeper.Not to mention the vocals.
I wonder which album India didn't like.Probably Human :dead:
I love how everyone's opinion is different in terms of the best songs on the album.. that tells me bran did what she needed to do ... it's truly an album for everyone.

I gave 9/11 a listen this morning and it's not as bad of an album as I thought. Still her worst tho but she's pretty much incapable of making a bad album..

Why do u guys think India hates human
that's just the kinda cheesy mess that's right up her alley
India hates 2/11
I love her praise of Brandy, and also her honesty about needing to sit with it and get into it to hear it for what it really is.
If she sits with it a bit longer she will realize that High Heels is a perfect fit.
I'm so ready for a bossy video to go with it for Sy'Rai to officially debut for the public ... I refuse to jump on the High Heels is trash bandwagon.
It's not what I thought it was going to be about lyrically at all.. I was expecting a song about her playing in her moms high heels as a kid and now understanding her mom as a woman and wanting to walk in her shoes as an adult and singer in the business etc
But a bossy bitch song about being so good in her own skin and proud of herself that not one hater can bring her down is good enough for me. I just know the universe is bringing out all the haters to see if she really means what she said in the song or not.. if she really means it then your hate will just slide right off her back and it should be a single with a video..
If she doesn't really mean what she's singing about then by all means leave it as an album cut.
I hope she decides to be BOSSY and slay you bitches.

That makes sense and that's really cute but the average person would just think it sounds foolish because it seems so out of place.
I love India's feedback on the album, def spot on... and yeah High Heels could've def been left off this album and gave us another gem

lmao I do feel like she would like Human. Its either Afrodisiac or Two Eleven but I'm guessing 2/11
India with the honesty about HH whewwww my girl is FREE and I knew she wouldn't like this album at first.
:plzstop:
I just :ohwow: with all the listening sessions...nobody told her to leave High Heels and Baby Mama off the record. Not that they are bad songs and they do fit in the sequence but I just feel like there were much stronger songs that could have gone on and kept the moody and wet fill of the album. Give us an ole nasty Melancholy and Follow Your Heart. Its just when you hear HH in comparison to Brandy's catalogue it just doesn't hold up.
*Sinking in Sandt*
KOP I loved this. Start to finish!
High heels is giving me come as you are 2.0 though
Two eleven ist not even an album, just a bunch of songs. Beautiful gowns though

I love the Human album. I love inspirational music also. India makes that kind of music to me. Love her! Human is popish, but it worked for me because I love Pop, too. Put Brandy, POP, an inspirational together and BOMB! Haha, love it! I adore brandy as a music artist PERIOD. Yeah, Human is POP, but she put her stamp on it!
Brandy is a true gem in the industry. I am ready for all she has to give.
Brandy, if you are reading this, do you girl! I love it all!

yeah, I can't she why people don't like Afrodisiac. Ugh, that album is amazing!
High Heels is becoming one of the most infamous, discussed songs on the album.
I screamed when I watched this because I feel the exact same way as India . I had so many expectations for this album and I couldn't truthfully enjoy it at first . After I let go of what I feel like Brandy should sound like I started falling in love with it.
High heels and baby mama just don't fit at all to me though . I wouldn't say I don't like It they just don't fit the vibe to me. Kinda like TURN IT UP on Afro .I've heard some fans say it's the best song on B7 lmao!!!
SSSSDDDSSDDDDDDDSSSsdddddsdddFDSSSDDDDSS

This was dope
Why India drag Huma' like that dbdbddddd
She's truly a FAN
i love that
rather be is the only timeless record on this album
but after 8 years ppul just expect to be blown away
through our unfounded expectations of brandy we are learning to be in a more neutral space in general
we rush to rank albums and its like who is that helping? except ur ego
and b7 and whatever it is is making us appreciate other bodies of work of hers more
cause this album is unique enough where it couldnt be boxed in the old paradigm of "this new mess will blow everything out the water" no it has its own space an d purpose and you need to appreciate it as such
Musically I listen to the album and dont desire something more like i dont know what more to expect at this point its just a sit back and take it in moment
we still have her full discography so there really shouldnt be complaints musically
now this mixing thing is a whole nother story but yeah
ive been saying this brandy clinging has to end need to care alot less about what she does creativley
and put the energy into something else
